NOTES AND SPECIAL CONDITIONS: Planning Commission made the following general comments regarding the proposed division: 1. Applicant should consider relocating the driveway outlot. 2. Wetland delineation will be required to verify all wetlands on the site. 3.Staff to define for the applicant what variances are needed for this project as proposed. Regarding the issue of whetlier the third acre for the back lots must be dry buildable, this has been an issue in only one subdivision since that ordinance w^as adopted. In that subdivision (Old Crystal Bay Road Addition), a back lot was platted with 2.6 acres dry and 0.8 acres wetland for a total of 3.4 acres. Planning Commission and Council concluded that since the intent of the back lot ordinance was to create buffers, that the wetland could be credited toward the third acre without creating a variance situation. No variance was required. You should proceed with your subdivision on the basis that the third acre may include wetlands. Remember, though, that per Section 10.03, Subd. 27 (A) (3 & 4), the required yards (i.e setbacks) must also meet 150% of the standard (50' front/rear becomes 75'; 30' side becomes 45 ’). If you desire certified copies of the official Planning Commission minutes, they are available from the City Recorder after review’ and approval by the Planning Commission. Formal preliminary plat application and attachments must be submitted by Noon on Friday, June 27, 1997 to be placed on the July 21 Planning Commission agenda. 1
